### 1/5 — Fix it

*2022-12-03*

I’m a contractor. This doesn’t get past the nag/information screens. Even the factory guy couldn’t help us. The dealer finally informed me it has never worked. I’ll be installing anybody else’s equipment but these fools.

### 1/5 — They should be ashamed of themselves

*2019-09-02, version 0.4.4*

Waste of time to even try getting this to work.   Would be easier to train a pigeon to click on the main unit.

### 1/5 — Horrible, Doesn’t connect

*2019-08-26, version 0.4.4*

Just spend over $1000 on this ac for it not to work.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2018-06-17*

Just a bad app.  Starting the app should provide the last status of the ac.  It doesn’t.  Turning on the ac should provide the current status.  It doesn’t.  Periodically the app should update settings and temp.  Only fan mode updates.  
I bought this ac because of its remote capabilities.  Love the ac VERY disappointed in the app.

### 1/5 — Has not been updated for years

*2018-05-30*

This app does not work with IOS 11. Continued calls and emails has gone nowhere. Wasted money on two units expecting WiFi
Update:
The app does work since first placing my review. However I was Promised the app was going to be redesigned in Spring of 2018 as it’s a very antiquated app design. So far no update has been released. My email has gone unanswered

### 5/5 — I don’t own a product like this but

*2018-05-23*

Lg smart thinq have same problem too. Very lucky to make it work with the app and I was almost purchasing Friedrich product but now I feel better because LG SmartThinQ have same problem and I am not alone 😂🤣

### 5/5 — Counter to Negative Reviews

*2017-12-05*

First off, I'm simply a Friedrich customer and not affiliated or compensated by Friedrich in any way. This app works very well with the WIFI kit as long as you get the wifi plugin unit working correctly over your network. Friedrich has solved 90% of the issues reported early in the products life span. This app (as well as the home computer interface) definitely adds a huge convenience factor to operating the unit. Most negative reviews are likely related to user error or technical skill level or proprietary router settings. I love my Friedrich A/C Heater combo system and the app/wifi capability is icing on the cake.

### 1/5 — Such a disappointment

*2017-11-15, version 0.4.4*

Buggy app with a horrible and outdated user interface.   Very slow and unreliable response time to air conditioning unit.  You would be better off with a good basic AC unit and a Wemo switch (or similar technology).

### 5/5 — Need update

*2017-10-18*

This worked perfect for over 2 years. But does not work on iso 11. Please update your app.

I did not update my phone, it still works perfect there.

### 1/5 — Needs ios11 app update

*2017-10-06, version 0.4.1*

App doesn’t work on ios11
